NYCC Approaches: A Belt Buckle
The one other thing I needed for a complete costume was a Belt Buckle for Storm. I dithered, and waited and wavered, and finally gave up on order one. I still had silver poster board left over from the Cyber woman costume I had black paper, I could make something that worked right?
That’s totally easy right? Well.
I started with the circles and then cut the black ones down, glued them into place. The plan was to overlay the X over the black ones then overlay another circle of sliver over all of that so it was seamless.
The first thing I noticed was that the black was a bit duller than I wanted and even double layering it was’t giving it the height I wanted. And it needed some shine. So then I had another plan. Bring forth the glue gun! And glaze.
So once that dried I just needed to turn the glue silver and add a way to attach it to my belt. The answer of course is Duct Tape. Not that I have done that yet, but instead I had an adventure with really thick silver paint I will be repairing tonight.
